Through the Fire

Let me talk to y'all real quick
Now, I ain't got it all together
But I fasho ain't where I used to be
Feel me
Check it

I been through the fire
Scream through the silence, jaw shut
Through the wire
Face to the mirror
Blind to truth, see a liar
Seeking God's face
Whole time I been hidin'
God lookin down like chile
I don't buy it
You done tried it
Tried a million things except me
Doin' it your way, okay, but the cost ain't free
I be
The only option
Obnoxious how you be steady tryin' to auction
The heart I adopted
I bought it
Paid the price in love
And blood
Declared it's done
Finished, I won
Ok, God I come
Humbly to ya throne of grace
I admit, I got carried away
By this ocean of pride
Steady goin' through all of the motions
Implodin'
Facade, keep on posin'
And copin' by chokin' on hope
Finding comfort in broken
A slippery slope and I'm knowing

Things couldn't change
Livin' my way
I had to fight through all the shame
Of being wrong
Took me so long
But once I gave it all to you
I made it out

Inhale, exhale
Take a breath
Walkin' round fake ain't good for ya health
I felt sick to my stomach
No bun in the oven
More like spiritual Braxton Hicks
They stopped when I stopped frontin'
Moral compass, it started pointin'
Upward, up to the summit
The peak of where I could be runnin'
After all that I suffered
I Chris Columbus
Act like my destiny was discovered
When God already knew the plan
Jericho, sound the trumpet
I made a public declaration
A one sided statement
Nah fam, this ain't a conversation
Promise you, I done traded
All my cares 'bout what they think
For peace
Shame ain't got the power
I can't ghost around and claim it's truth that I seek
Word to St. Patrick
I'm through with actin'
I'm through pretendin'
I'm through with spendin'
My time defendin'
All my decisions
I ain't winnin'
If I'm Oprah with my explanations
Problem was dragging them to my final destination
All the mess he told me leave behind
On some Kirk Cameron
Lone wolf in sheep's clothing
I can't stand em
I understand em though
Or at least I understand the scheme
Satan use whatever just to get to me
Guess I must be
A hot commodity
All these mistakes on the shelf
If Rih forgave Chris
I forgive myself
Made a bed or two in hell, still the devil a liar
Fiery furnace, not alone
4th man in the fire

Things couldn't change
Livin' my way
I had to fight through all the shame
Of being wrong
Took me so long
But once I gave it all to you
I made it out
